Bluegrass Beef

Bluegrass Beef raises its cattle using regenerative farming methods, with healthy soil as the foundation of the system. Cattle are managed through rotational grazing: pastures are divided into small sections and the herd is moved through them in sequence, giving each section time to recover. During winter months the farm uses strip grazing of stockpiled forages and bale grazing to extend the grazing season and build pasture quality. Cattle are never confined and are never given growth hormones or hormonal supplements of any kind. The farm takes a natural approach to animal health, using de-wormers and vaccines sparingly. Antibiotics or other medications are used only when illness requires treatment, and any treated animal is removed from the beef program. Cattle are grass-finished, typically reaching harvest weight at 24 to 30 months of age.
